Description
"Edmee lacks for nothing. Her adoring husband is a handsome French engineer, the very image of the cosmopolitan European. They have two beautiful children, Claudie and Jacques, and the family lives in California. But all is not as it seems. Edmee's anxiety attacks can reduce her to tears even at her own birthday party, and daughter Claudie shines with a rather disturbing inner knowledge.". "Choice of the Elect follows Edmee through the seriocomic adventures that ensue when she deserts her husband. Though her act appears selfish, Edmee believes herself to be on a holy mission and over the years takes up with mysterious lovers and finds success in Hollywood as she continues her quest - with Claudie in tow. Yet as time passes, her devotion to Claudie is answered with rejection, and Edmee, down and out in San Francisco, comes to wonder whether this is tragedy or her just desserts and what price the holy must pay for being elect."--BOOK JACKET.
